Porta dos Fundos is known as a comedy sketch producer and Portuguese-language YouTube channel operator with more than 13 million subscribers. It has a library of clips, several TV series, mobile apps and games, and a consumer products line.

Fabio Porchat, Antonio Tabet, João Vicente de Castro, Ian SBF and Gregorio Duvivier launched the firm in 2012, and have gone on to make the Porta dos Fundos YouTube channel a global top-ten entertainment network on the platform in terms of subs.

“As we continue to build scale in the Latin American region, our investment in Porta dos Fundos furthers our commitment to the Brazilian market and increases our ability to create innovative content, often native to digital platforms, which will complement our existing Viacom brands and capabilities,” said Pierluigi Gazzolo, president of VIMN Americas (pictured).

Porta dos Fundos CEO Tereza Gonzalez said selling to VIMN was “a big step for the group towards expanding into the international market, with new global opportunities for our portfolio both on and offline” and gave the firm an “exceptional distribution channels for our content”.
